T-Mobile announced today a new benefit for select plan subscribers to get free ad-support Hulu subscription. They call it Hulu ON US. The benefit will start on January 24, 2024 and will run for 12 months. After 12-month you might need to re-enroll or will automatically get charged by Hulu.
Terms: Promotional code valid for 12 months of Hulu (With Ads) while you maintain a qualifying Go5G Next line or 2+ qualifying Go5G Plus or Magenta Max lines in good standing and register with account that received invitation.
Also, the Netflix benefit from T-Mobile (Netflix ON US) is switching over to the ad-supported Netflix version. This change is also happening toward the end of January.
Hat tip to reader Celia
I’d rather watch 720p without ads than 4k with commercials but maybe I am a weirdo..
What what what?!? Also, the Netflix benefit from T-Mobile (Netflix ON US) is switching over to the ad-supported Netflix version. This change is also happening toward the end of January.
First we get Amazon Prime taken away (former Sprint plans) and replaced with Netflix Basic and now it will be Netflix with ads?
If it makes you feel any better, Prime is adding Ads.
In 24, it still amazes me that people don’t know how to search the internet. “Firefox & ad-block”.
I don’t think an adblocker works for streaming sites? Those are usually embedded within the video I thought, unlike youtube for instance
No clue what TM is doing with my ONE plan
Netflix Standard with Family Allowances ($8.50/mo. starting on 1/24/24)
$4.50/mo
+ tax
I called to ask. No change.
I see the same change. They will only be crediting $6.99 going forward (cost of the lowest plan). The standard plan is $15.49 so the additional cost is $8.50.
I see the same thing. I remember when I changed from Simple Choice to the One plan, the standard Netflix was included. Wondering if we can get the ad supported plan for no cost going forward or if we are stuck paying $8.50 per month for the Standard Plan?
Do you think you can pay 2 dollars for add on disney plus with free hulu? Currently I pay 1 dollar for hulu just so I can add on disney plus.

I have Go5G Plus with 7 lines, Does that mean Go5G Plus are still eligible?
But it seems opposite from https://www.t-mobile.com/news/offers/t-mobile-adds-hulu-to-its-streaming-suite which only for 5G Next…

I’m on T-Mobile One w/ One Plus Promo. I’m at $166 for 12 lines. If you factor in the kickback promo, which has been at a minimum of $50/mo for the last 3 years, I’m at $116/mo for 12 lines. Also get Netflix for free and I guess now Hulu.
Never leaving t-mobile until they finally force me off of this.
I’m speechless by the 12 lines. I wouldn’t leave either and I’m a bit jealous 🙂
That’s the kickback?
Kickback gives you $10 off per month per line if the line uses less than 2GB of data per month
Can you ask for that or did you have to get it when you set up the plan?
How do you get such a good low rate?! That’s crazy
T-mobile had lots of promotions over the years for adding lines for $10/mo for instance. The ONE plan was the best, so happy I’m grandfathered in on that.
I’m not sure how you get Netflix free since it was never part of One Plus. I have One Plus, not so cheap as you, but don’t get free Netflix.

How the hell do I get such an offer for 2 lines?
Best bang for buck is $15 business tablet line (unlimited data, 10GB hotspot). That’s assuming you don’t need voice calling.
Old price was $10 but they increased it. I have 2 such lines, only paying $20/mo. Pretty cool for unlimited data.
Right there with you. I have 9 lines, home internet and insurance for 2 iPhones, and Netflix for $126. Would be $40 cheaper if my inlaws would forgo the insurance.
For those asking, T-mo has had a TON of “free line on us” promos in the last years (pre merger). That’s how you get that many lines and such a low price.
Yeah, I missed the boat on those free lines, just didn’t need them at the time. I am jealous of, and happy for, all of you who were smart enough to take advantage.
Similar, I have 10 lines and average about $102-$112/month for OnePlus. I don’t get as much of a kickback, though, usually only around $30/mo. I assume all with similar deals took advantage of the free lines during the pandemic.
T-Mobile should partner with American Express Platinum because they have become another coupon book service lol
I’m gonna guess my OG simple choice is not part of this.
On OG as well
SC FTW
Same here…and quite honestly all the better for it.
It’s absolutely baffling to me that people will pay money to be served ads. Just baffling.
I’m only paying a dollar a month. A couple ads aren’t killing me.
People paid $100+ for a million cable channels, what I estimate are about 50% ads here in the States.
Steaming, while on a stupid wrong trajectory, is still an improvement.
I feel the same way but I guess it depends on your tolerance for advertisements. I just can’t stand them, but some people are just used to it from watching broadcast TV.
Baffling to me why some people pay extra money to not watch a few ads. Been watching ads since the 50’s. Most of the ads that I watch now on streaming are one to two minutes. Minor inconvenience at worst. I have netflix for $83.88 a year with no ads by the way (thank you Verizon)
It’s not just the ads – we want the ability to download for offline viewing.
The good news is we still have choices to pay extra or not to pay.
This is a pretty baffling opinion. The average cable bill was $75 per month in 2010. Over 90% of households paid for Cable TV. I’d like to assume you were in one of those, maybe even just as a kid, but still in a household paying $75 a month to be served ads.
You want to rethink your stance on making an issue out of less than $10 per month for a streaming service with ads?
I think they get rather more than just the ads.
Just get adguard to block the ads or a DNS on your wifi
This right here. This man KNOWS
What dns should I use for this?
Same. I’m mostly watching youtube on AppleTV and I can’t stand ads. Using Yattee app to skip all adds (including embedded sponsor blocks).
If one is willing to watch movies with ads, there are plenty of free options already – Freevee, Crackle, Pluto, Plex, Tubi, etc.
I don’t have ads on my plan.
